General
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood.

The genus Pachycephala is native to Oceania and Southeast Asia. The only member found in Vietnam, the Mangrove Whistler is identified as a Bách thanh 'shrike' in Vietnamese (see Laniidae) owing to a similarity to the shrikes.
Family name
The family name, based on the species name, is Họ Bách thanh lưng nâu 'brown-backed shrike (bird)'. Although TVC (34) changes the species name to Chim Bách thanh xám 'grey shrike (bird)', he retains the original family name.
